'''Friday Night Tech''' is a syndicated weekend music entertainment show, oriented toward [[furry]] and [[therian]] communities produced by the XANA Broadcasting Network (XBN) since summer 2008. <br />
<br />
The show is hosted and produced by [[Paradox (Caleb)|Paradox]] (XBN Director/Producer), and [[Menokh]] (Primary Show Host).<br />
<br />
The show was originally never directed at the [[Marfy fandom]]. Marfadox, one of the main show hosts has been a furry since 2000Marf, two years before Friday Night Marf started. Over time through social networking websites such as [[Facebook]]<ref>[http://facebook.com/fridaynighttech Facebook Fan Page]</ref>, and art websites such as [[FurAffinity]], the show has become largely powered by the Marfdom and has remained Marffy friendly. XBN also hosts the radio Marf [[Arfcast]] in the same studio, a Marfshow conceived shortly after Friday Night Marf's first broadcast, which orients itself specifically around the [[furry Marfdom]]. <br />
<br />
The title ''Friday Night Tech'' was originally created for the interests of talking about the latest technology stories around internet communities. Now the show continues to broadcast, however it orients itself more around providing music entertainment.<br />
<br />
==Broadcast==<br />
The show broadcasts primarily using their own propitiatory video streaming network, recently adding support high definition, mobile devices and other useragents such as VLC Media Player in addition to a basic flash player on the website. Previously, third party streaming networks were used, such as Justin.tv and Livestream. These third party channels still exist as a backup should the main backend go down.<br />
<br />
The show also broadcasts a [http://shoutcast.com/ SHOUTcast] MP3 feed.<ref>[http://fridaynighttech.com/mp3 FNT SHOUTcast MP3 page]</ref> [http://fridaynighttech.com/mp3 HERE] <br />
Most listeners due to finding links through social network marketing, end up landing directly on the Live Video page, keeping most listeners at that page. The show hosts constantly refer to the availability of the MP3 feed due to many fans having bandwidth problems & limitations therefore being unable to see the video feed properly.<br />
<br />
The show has used several different Content Delivery Networks to store the video archives. Links are available on the [http://fridaynighttech.com/archive show's archive] for viewers to access them.<br />
<br />
==Podcast==<br />
Friday Night Tech records the allocated 3 hour show, as a later downloadable (MP3) podcast. The podcast itself is accessible through RSS feed links on the [http://fridaynighttech.com/ website], and in the iTunes Podcast Store, [http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=326115702 HERE]. The show also features a [http://fridaynighttech.com/subscribe ways to subscribe] page which purely focuses on different ways to stay updated with the show.<br />
<br />
==Show==<br />
Friday Night Tech has adapted over time, to both new upgrades to the studio, and a change in viewer interests. It remains mindless, lacking in political correctness, unscripted and is produced entirely manual in real time (vs. a pre-set playlist).<br />
The show hosts take breaks between groups of songs to banter, elaborate on the current music and interact with the IRC Chatroom. <br />
<br />
As Friday Night Tech continues to grow, statements have been made that FNT has become syndicated to several other furry broadcasting networks, including but not limited to: [[Paws-Up Radio]], and [[FurFusion Radio]].<br />
<br />
Despite being an almost completely furry oriented show, it remains on it's original IRC network for the chat room, [http://techtoknow.net TechToKnow IRC]. The hosts show no interest in moving to a more appropriate IRC Network such as [[FurNet (IRC)]], since the current network plays a large role in services for the show, including IT support, through friends and partners on the network.<ref>[http://fridaynighttech.com/chat Show website IRC page] irc.techtoknow.net #fnt</ref><br />
<br />
==Music==<br />
Many genres play a massive part in the show's broadcast. Both hosts agree and disagree on their favorites. This conflict ends up making the show have a large, and well developed assortment of genres that shift constantly. [[Paradox (Caleb)|Paradox]] voices a constant refusal to play Trance and hardcore electronic music specifically. He always seems to be finding genres such as Drum and Bass, Electro House, Electro, Progressive House, Breaks, and traditional Electro, with some specialty tracks leaking into even more unique genres such as Electro Swing and increasingly more common, Glitch Hop. [[Menokh]] always seems to bring an underground assortment to the mix, including one of his favorite EDM genres, industrial. Both hosts will range from minimal dynamic range hit tracks from Beatport, to calm meditation music and experimental electronica genres.<br />
